HUMAN RIGHTS BLOW

Tad Stoner tad.stoner@ieyenews.com
Dozens of human rights cases, including 18 lifetime prisoners at HMP Northward, will have to wait until at least November 2012 to gain a review of their cases under Cayman’s Human Rights Commission. The cases include a longstanding plea by six Northward “lifers” seeking to have the courts declare a minimum term before a parole board can review their sentences. Chairman of the Human Rights Commission Richard Coles told iNews on Thursday that none of the cases brought to the commission’s predecessor, the Human Rights Committee, had been passed to the commission and, therefore, the panel could take no action on them. “We are not the Human Rights Committee,” Mr Coles said, “and all the papers are still with them. They [the applicants] will have to start again. Continued on page 5

Boxer Tracey Seymour trains hard at the D. Dalmain Ebanks Boxing Gym
Christopher Tobutt christopher.tobutt@ieyenews.com
Tracey Seymour has been training hard for her Saturday night fight against Sasha Gayle from Jamaica at the D. Dalmain Ebanks Boxing Gym. She’s feeling in great shape, she says, but the road she has taken in her boxing career has not been easy since she was introduced to the sport on her 18th birthday. “It was in the Matrix nightclub when they used to do Monday night boxing,” she said. “My very first international fight was in Trinidad in 2004 for the Caribbean Championships. I didn’t win but it wasn’t a right match-up, we were not in the same weight class. The only reason I agreed on it was because I wanted the experience.” But just as Ms Seymour was getting into her stride in the world of boxing, Hurricane Ivan paid Cayman an unwelcome visit. “After that our gym was completely destroyed – we used to practice behind the library in George Town. I wasn’t training because of the devastation - I was too busy putting my life back together,” she explained. Ms Seymour began training seriously again in 2006. She fought and won a match against Sasha Gayle, but then had another big setback. “I got into a car accident which took out my knee and that put me out to blog visit www.ieyenews.com
of training for four years,” she said. It wasn’t until 2010 that Ms Seymour started training for fights once again. “Norman Wilson has been training me and I am better than before. I’m quicker and sharper because he sees what I need to do, and I do what he tells me,” she said. She feels fitter, and in better shape than ever before, and ready to meet her opponent. “I know that she’s a bigger opponent so my plan is to use speed against her,” she added. When asked if she felt boxing was still a male domain, Ms Seymour replied: “Women have pretty much stepped up to the plate to prove that we can do the same thing that men can. God made us with special abilities just like the men, to be all that we can be in life.” The Saturday night fight at the D. Dalmain Ebanks Boxing Gym
will feature fights by Cayman National Team members Thomas McField, Jessica McFarlane, Chad Scott, Aaron Powell, Dariel Ebanks, Tafari Ebanks, Kendall Ebanks and Raymond Rodriguez, who will be fighting against the Bruising Gym Team members from Jamaica.

Continued from front page “I have no idea how many papers there are. We have on the commission some people that were also on the committee, and sometimes they can remember a bit, but it all gets a little muddy.” Mr Coles spoke in the wake of the 21 October Grand Court appearance of Larry Ricketts, sentenced to life for the 2008 murder of Estella Scott. Attorneys for Ricketts told Justice Quin that his sentence contravened essential human-rights legislation by failing to set a minimum term he must serve before qualifying for parole review. “I think Ricketts will struggle,” Mr Coles said, but declined to elaborate, saying only that the European Court of Human Rights was the only tribunal with jurisdiction and that “everything will be different as of November next year.” Neither Mr Coles nor former members of the Human Rights Committee were able to say why no papers had been bequeathed to the commission, established in 2009 under the new Cayman Islands Constitution, replacing the more informal committee, which took its to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

first case in 2006. In June of that year, six lifetime prisoners at Northward, under the names Bruce, B Dixon, L Dixon, Powell, Roper and Thomas, filed a claim with the committee, appealing for a minimum sentence, known as a “tariff” under UK-signed human rights legislation, that would enable a parole hearing. Despite a subsequent committee report calling for the court to set a “tariff”, and subsequently refer the prisoners to the Parole Board or Grand Court, nothing has been done. Under the present system, Mr Coles said, a prisoner can appeal to the governor for a “prerogative of mercy”, although the Office of the Governor on Friday was unable to say how frequent appeals were or how many had been granted. One former member of the human rights committee, asking anonymity, said, however, the six “lifers” unquestionably qualified. “They have an unanswerable case,” he said. “They will get a smack-bang, four-square victory. The arguments have all been run by people in the UK courts and the European [human rights] courts.” A late-2007 committee report on five youths, aged between 13 and
16, in Fairbanks women’s prison called for the separation of youth and adults in prison. While little has been done to date about the recommendation, government plans a springtime opening for an $8 million Youth Rehabilitation Centre, complying with Bill of Rights legislation. “We dealt with dozens of complaints by the end,” said the former committee member, but did not know why they had not been passed to the commission, but speculated that “political expediency” had prevented any action. “It’s not going to be popular, and I’m not sure any politician wants to start talking about prisoners under life sentences,” he said. Mr Coles said the Grand Court, next November, would have to review all 18 life sentences at Northward, and suggested judges “be pro-active and get it done” immediately. “They will need to go through all the existing life sentences and review the tariffs to be in compliance,” with the Bill of Rights,” he said. “The court, rather than the governor, would be best to do it, otherwise we are going to have a whole series of prisoners bringing their cases and saying this is a violation of human rights. Come November, it will all change.”

Charlie Sheen’s new sitcom airing on FX LOS ANGELES (AP) — Fired “Two and a Half Men” star Charlie Sheen will try to return to a winning TV sitcom next summer in FX’s new “Anger Management.” The cable channel said Thursday it has acquired the series loosely based on the 2003 Adam Sandler-Jack Nicholson movie of the same name, about a troubled therapist who disrupts his patients’ lives. FX ordered an initial 10 episodes of “Anger Management” starring Sheen, with production set to begin early next year. The series was announced in July by Lionsgate subsidiary DebmarMercury, which had shopped it to various broadcast and cable networks.
If the comedy catches on with viewers, FX will pick up an additional 90 episodes that will air first on the channel and then in broadcast syndication starting in fall 2014. The same model was used by DebmarMercury on the Ice Cube comedy series “Are We There Yet?” and on “Tyler Perry’s House of Payne” and “Meet the Browns,” all of which air on TBS. FX Networks head John Landgraf called “Anger Management” a “wonderful, hilarious vehicle for Charlie’s acting talents.” Sheen’s new show will air on the same cable home as his old one: “Two and a Half Men” has been in returns on FX for more than a year.
Widow not getting surviving exotic pets COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Six exotic animals that were among dozens freed by their suicidal owner and survived a big-game hunt by sheriff’s deputies with shoot-to-kill orders will be kept under quarantine at a zoo for now instead of going to his widow, the state Department of Agriculture ordered Thursday. The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium was trying to stop Marian Thompson from reclaiming three leopards, two primates and a young grizzly bear that have been cared for by the zoo since last week, when owner Terry Thompson mysteriously set them and
other wild animals including tigers and lions free in a rural area of eastern Ohio. The other animals were killed by each other or by sheriff’s deputies armed with high-powered rifles. The zoo said it had Marian Thompson’s permission to care for the six surviving animals, which have been kept separate from other animals, but has no legal rights to them. A veterinary medical officer for the Department of Agriculture looked at the animals and determined they needed to remain quarantined as allowed by Ohio law, which provides for the agriculture director
to quarantine animals while investigating reports of potentially dangerous diseases. A zoo official said Thursday that Terry Thompson had housed animals in tiny muddy shelters made of plywood, many without roofs.
Pink Floyd member’s son loses jail term appeal LONDON (AP) — Appeal court judges on Friday upheld the 16-month jail sentence given to the son of Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour for a violent rampage during student protests last year. Charlie Gilmour was one of thousands who demonstrated in December against rising university tuition fees and was among a group that broke away from the main demonstration and attacked a convoy carrying Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla. At Gilmour’s trial earlier this year, a judge said Gilmour had to blog visit www.ieyenews.com
jumped on the hood of a Jaguar in the royal motorcade and thrown a garbage can at the car. Gilmour also kicked a store window, stole the leg of a mannequin and was photographed hanging from a Union flag on the Cenotaph, a memorial to British war dead. The 21-year-old Cambridge University student, who has been in jail since July, pleaded guilty to violent disorder but challenged the length of his sentence. But three appeals judges said the sentence was neither “manifestly
excessive (nor) wrong in principle.” “We do not believe that violence in this context and of the kind displayed by this defendant can normally be met by other than significant sentences of immediate custody even for those of otherwise good character,” said one of the three, Anthony Hughes.

Frightened to ‘grass’ To ‘grass’ means to inform on someone. In the UK the colin.wilson@ieyenews.com term is normally used when a criminal betrays another one to the authorities. If you are a ‘grass’ means you are not someone who is trustworthy. Normally other criminals hate ‘one of their own’ who informs on them and often there are reprisals on the informant. However, there are exceptions. In a particularly heinous crime another criminal might find the crime so horrible his conscience ‘pricks’ him into ‘grassing’ on the perpetrators. Another exception is one where gunmen terrorise their victims, including shooting them at robberies (even when the victims have complied with the gunmen’s requests) as part of an escalating crime wave that is affecting the whole country where it is happening. Where the community as a whole are begging people to come forward and inform on these lowlife individuals who are causing so much misery. Where every single person, who has been part of a quiet law abiding community, are suddenly living a life frightened they will be the next victim of these worthless scumbags. I refer you to our article “You Must Speak Up” see iNews 27 Oct Issue 126. On Tuesday 25th October, Honourable Mr. Justice Charles Quin, in the case of John Alfredo Miller III had implored Mr. Miller to ‘grass’ on his criminal associates and/or show the whereabouts of the guns used in the crime. The crime took place on 29 November last year at ‘The Shoppe’ on the junction of Watercourse Road and North West Point Road in West Bay. Three armed masked men carrying shotguns and what appeared to be handguns entered the store, where they threatened and robbed both the customers inside of mobile phones and $550 cash from the shop’s register. The robbers also threatened a man (who happened to be the landlord of the premises of the shop) approaching the scene as they left the shop and made their escape, telling him to turn around.

One of the victims saw a white Ford Explorer, which appeared to have been waiting for the robbers, pick them up and drive off at great speed, heading in the direction of the West Bay four-way stop. The witness noted the registration and immediately called the police. Sometime later, the police located and stopped the car. However, the robbers had disappeared. Mr. Miller was identified as the car driver and he pleaded guilty to the offence of being the getaway driver. The Defendant’s counsel, lawyer John Furniss, told Justice Quin, “The Defendant is not prepared to assist the Court with the names of the gunmen because he is in fear of his life and in fear for his family. Indeed, the Defendant has also said that he does not want to put his mother through any difficulties.” After announcing his verdict to impose a sentence of imprisonment of five years to Mr. Miller, Justice Quin said, “This Court is compelled to comment on the fact that this absence of cooperation with the police is a deeply regrettable consequence of the pervasive and abhorrent influence these criminals have on our community. To this Defendant I state that the fear he has for himself and his family will only spread if criminals are allowed to thrive and remain at large. I would implore this Defendant to examine carefully all the consequences related to his silence, in the round, and understand that there is no long term good for him, his family, or the community when criminals are allowed to thrive and their actions go unpunished.” I applaud Justice Quin for his statement that is now on record. I only can hope Mr. Miller has a change of heart. Perhaps his wife and family members can persuade him. He has tainted himself and his loved ones. He could have redeemed himself and maybe acted as a catalyst for other people to come forward. He is frightened to ‘grass’ because he fears for his own life. If it was only fear he had for his wife and family I would not now be calling him a coward. He could have been called a hero. The thugs in our society win again.

Rina is now a tropical depression
Colin Wilson colin.wilson@ieyenews.com
As of this afternoon (28) Tropical Depression Rina has been ripped apart by strong upper-level southerly winds. The low level center expected to drift slowly southwards along the Yucatan coast. Long range radar out of Key West shows that moisture streaming to the northeast from Rina is bringing rain to the Southwest coast of Florida. Rainfall amounts of 1 - 3 inches are likely over the Florida Keys and South Florida through Sunday due to moisture from Rina. Wind shear should be able to destroy the circulation of Rina by Saturday (27).
Our immediate weather here is being caused by a broad region of low pressure in the Western Caribbean that is currently (28) between Jamaica and Honduras. It is drifting slowly northwest at less than 5 mph. Heavy thunderstorm activity is disorganised and relatively modest, and the National Hurricane Centre is still giving the low only a 10% chance of developing into a tropical depression by Sunday. Heavy rains from the disturbance will affect us here, Honduras and Nicaragua from today through Sunday. None of the reliable computer models are showing development of a new tropical depression in the Atlantic over the next
seven days, though we will continue to see disturbed weather over the Western Caribbean that could generate something. Once again make sure your umbrella is handy. You are going to need it over this weekend. For the full weather discussion go to Crown Weather Services at www. crownweather.com and to the National Hurricane Center at www.nhc. noaa.gov/.

A group of artists who have contributed artwork to be sold in the National Gallery’s Big Art Auction recently got a chance to see round the new building their art donations are helping to pay for. The National Gallery’s new building which is not quite finished yet, is situated near to Camana Bay just off the Esterly Tibbetts Highway. It will provide the Gallery with an ‘art home’ which students, artists, teachers, archivists and researchers can use as a central art resource.
“The new National Gallery and Education Centre will be a wonderful resource for the entire community and provide a fitting framework for Cayman’s cultural heritage at its best,” said Gallery Director, Natalie Urquhart, who showed the artists around the new facility. 100 % of the proceeds from the donated artwork sold during the Big Art Auction on the 24th November will go to the NGCI Capital fund, which is being used for the final costs of finishing off the new building. The new development addresses urgent needs in terms of the Gallery’s infrastructure by providing a new permanent gallery for the National
Art Collection, increased temporary exhibition space, an art studio, as well a larger administration area. “One of the most exciting developments will be a new gallery dedicated for a permanent display of Caymanian art, so that visitors will be able to see the very best art Cayman has to offer whenever they like”, Ms Urquhart said. The space afforded by the 9000 square foot building also offers a dedicated gallery for special exhibitions, an auditorium, a visual arts learning centre and an arts & culture library. There is also going to be a fine art studio and a multipurpose area for

The Cancer Society has played an integral role in the kick-off and opening of our children’s Summer Camp. Their Project Coordinator, Vicki Anderson, attended our first week of Summer Camp and spoke to our campers about the importance of sun safety and using sunscreen, hats, and long clothing to prevent sun damage and skin cancer. The presentation was engaging, informative, and tailored to our young audience. It was the perfect way to set the standard for summer sun safety for our children and the entire Summer Camp. We are looking forward to the Cancer Society’s return for our next summer season!
The new gallery building will have plenty of space for exhibits and educational programmes, both inside and out
events and outdoor exhibitions, as well as a sculpture garden. The new building is housed on 4 acres of land, which will mean there is plenty of room for events and attractions inside as well as outside. Mrs Urquhart added: “The accessible location and increased space will enable us to host a vibrant and diverse exhibition schedule and the first permanent gallery for the National Art Collection. “With our purpose built art studio, library and learning centre, we will continue our dynamic educational programme offering more learning opportunities than ever before.” The new building is set to be a new home for Cayman’s visual arts

Cayman Islands continues captive market growth (Grand Cayman- 28 October 2011) Third quarter figures from the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA) show the continued resilience of Cayman’s captive insurance sector. CIMA licensed 29 captive insurance companies in the first nine months of 2011, 14 more than during the same period in 2010. The total number of captives in the jurisdiction at 30 September 2011 stood at 730. Demonstrating a new benchmark, total premiums as at 30 September were reported at US$9.6 billion, the highest recorded in CIMA’s history. This compares to US$8.6 billion as at 31 December 2010 (12% increase). Total assets, as of 30 September 2011, were reported at US$58.3 billion, compared to US$57.9 billion as at 31 December 2010. CIMA’s Managing Director, Mrs. Cindy Scotland, commented: “This 93% increase in captive formations and close to $10 billion in premiums are indicators of the health of our captive insurance industry, despite the generally soft international insurance market conditions. In all of 2010 there
iNotices
were 25 new captives formed, so for our 2011 numbers to already be at 29, and with new applications pending, we anticipate this calendar year to reflect significant growth in new captives.” The total number of captives at 30 September 2011 is one more than the 729 at September 2010. And, although it is eight less than the 738 active at 31 December 2010 (due to licence termination of companies in liquidation since 2009 and 2010 but not dissolved until 2011, and to special purpose vehicles completing their oneyear policy cycle), the total number has increased steadily throughout 2011. At 31 March there were 720 captives, which grew to 725 at 30 June, before reaching 730 at 30 September. A captive is an insurance company formed and owned by an entity or group of entities for the purpose of covering the risks of that entity or group. The Cayman Islands has continued as the leading jurisdiction for health care captives. As at September 2011, health care was the primary line of business for 256 companies (35%). Workers’ compensation remained the
second largest line of business with 157 companies (22%) providing this as their primary type of risk insured. The 730 class B (i.e., captive) licensees active as at 30 September comprise the following: 418 pure captives (57%), 120 segregated portfolio companies (16%), 75 group captives (10%), 51 association captives (7%), 34 special purpose vehicles (5%), 31 open market insurers (4%) and one rent-a-captive. The 120 segregated portfolio companies comprise a total of 634 active segregated portfolios. The Cayman Islands captive insurance industry is composed mainly of companies insuring risks in North America. Premiums originating from North America accounted for 84% of the Cayman market, followed by Europe at 3%, Caribbean and Latin America at 2%, and the remaining global market at 11%. In terms of captive numbers, North America accounts for 90% of the Cayman market, followed by Caribbean and Latin America at 3%, Europe at 2%, and the remaining global market at 5%.

The history of Halloween
CAYMAN INSURANCE CENTRE LTD.
Georgina Wilcox georgina.wilcox@ieyenews.com
Halloween is usually celebrated with trick-or-treating activities, costume parties, jack-o’-lanterns, apple bobbing, bonfires, playing pranks, visiting haunted houses, telling scary stories and watching horror movies. It is observed on October 31st and called ‘Halloween’ because it is a Scottish variant of ‘All-Hallows-Even’ – the night before ‘All Hallows Day’ (All Saints Day). Trick-or-treating resembles the late medieval practice of souling, when poor folk would go door to door on Hallowmas (November 1), receiving food in return for prayers for the dead on All Souls’ Day (November 2). The ancient origins of Halloween actually started two thousand years ago with the Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in) that celebrated the new year in an area we now call Ireland, United Kingdom and Northern France. Their new year commenced on November 1st. Summer had now officially ended, no more harvesting crops and it was the start of the dark, cold winter. Winter was associated with human death and the Celts believed on the night before the new year the ghosts of the dead returned to earth. The Celts lived in a volatile world and depended on comforting prophecies from Druids or Celtic priests where they could take direction during the long dark days of winter. The presence of these ghosts, or so the Celts believed, made it easier for these priests to make these predictions. The Druids building huge sacred bonfires, where people gathered to burn crops and animals as sacrifices to the Celtic deities, commemorated Samhain. If anyone has seen the movie “The Wicker Man” (the 1973 version starring Christopher Lee) they would have seen a similar event, except the crops had failed the previous year so Christopher Lee in his role as Lord Summerisle – the chief Druid – ordered a sacrifice of a to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

human who was also a virgin. By 43 A.D., the Roman Empire had conquered the majority of Celtic territory. In the course of the four hundred years that they ruled the Celtic lands, two festivals of Roman origin were combined with the traditional Celtic celebration of Samhain. The first was Feralia, a day in late October when the Romans traditionally commemorated the passing of the dead. The second was a day to honour Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruit and trees. The symbol of Pomona is the apple and the incorporation of this celebration into Samhain probably explains the tradition of “bobbing” for apples that is practiced today on Halloween. Apples was the fruit Summerisle was famous for – the point lost on the recent dreadful Hollywood remake of “The Wicker Man” which, for reasons only known to the producers, substituted apples for honey! Halloween slowly made its way to America with the colonisation of people mainly from Europe. Because of the different ethnic groups and the American Indian traditions meshing together a distinctly American version of Halloween emerged. The first celebrations included “play parties,” public events held to celebrate the harvest, where neighbours would share stories of the dead, tell each other’s fortunes, dance and sing. Colonial Halloween festivities also
featured the telling of ghost stories and mischief-making of all kinds. When millions of Irish immigrants arrived fleeing the potato famine in their homeland, Halloween really took off as a festival. Taking from Irish and English traditions, Americans began to dress up in costumes and go house to house asking for food or money, a practice that eventually became today’s “trick-or-treat” tradition. The earliest known use in print of the term “trick or treat” appears in 1927, from Blackie, Alberta, Canada: “Halloween provided an opportunity for real strenuous fun. No real damage was done except to the temper of some who had to hunt for wagon wheels, gates, wagons, barrels, etc., much of which decorated the front street. The youthful tormentors were at back door and front demanding edible plunder by the word ‘trick or treat’ to which the inmates gladly responded and sent the robbers away rejoicing.” Young women believed that on Halloween they could divine the name or appearance of their future husband by doing tricks with yarn, apple parings or mirrors. Witches have appeared in Halloween because they have taken the place of the Druids and Celtic priests and the main focus now is on the dead and scaring people. The older rituals focused on the past and the future with good spirits. Somehow, being scared is more fun.

McIlroy takes 2-stroke lead in Shanghai Masters
SHANGHAI (AP) — U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy shot a 3-under 69 on Friday to increase his lead to two strokes after the second round of the Shanghai Masters. After opening with a bogey-free 64, McIlroy struggled on the front nine, bogeying the fourth hole and dropping two strokes when he drove into the water on the par-4 ninth. The 22-year-old star from Northern Ireland recovered with four birdies on the back nine to finish at 11-under 133 on Lake Malaren’s Jack Nicklaus-designed Masters course. “I liked the birdie on 18, and had a good back nine,” McIlroy said. “To shoot four birdies kept me going after the double bogey.” Noh Seung-yul was second after a 63. The 20-year-old South Korean player birdied three of the last four holes. He began the round tied for 18th after an opening 72. “I had hurt my ankle and not been able to practice too much and also not be able to swing as hard as I would like,” Noh said. “I just decided to be careful with how I played. I putted well and chose good options, which obviously helped my score.” The 30 players are vying for the $2 million first prize, the richest in golf. All the top players are getting appearance money, and last place pays $25,000. Because the International Management Group-run event isn’t sanctioned by a major tour, it doesn’t have world-ranking points.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A drained Tony La Russa sat behind the podium, jersey gone and a blue towel draped around his neck, “When you dream,” the St. Louis Cardinals manager said, “you dream about seventh game, all the heroics.” After one of the greatest games in baseball history, a 10-9, 11-inning victory over Texas in Game 6 in which the Cardinals were twice within one strike of elimination, it was too soon for La Russa to announce his Game 7 starter. His choice was whether to send ace Chris Carpenter to the mound on short rest Friday night or start Kyle Lohse or Edwin Jackson. “This is a very important game and if you don’t want it, then there’s no need to be here,” Carpenter said. Down to their final strike in the ninth and 10th, the Cardinals won Game 6 on David Freese’s 11thinning homer off Mark Lowe. Afterward, La Russa still would not commit to a Game 7 starter. “Just barely started to think about tomorrow, but actually it’ll be fun to think about it now because there is a Game 7,” he said. “Might just roll Jake (Westbrook) back out there. Who knows?” Texas manager Ron Washington made his decision days ago, announcing he would stay in rotation and start Matt Harrison, the Game 3 loser.

Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas has no concerns over the state of mind of his captain John Terry ahead of Saturday’s game against Arsenal. Villas-Boas is adamant that the alleged racist abuse against Anton Ferdinand is “a misunderstanding” and hopes that the FA investigation will clear the defender. The Portuguese coach also defends the disciplinary record of his team and says he believes the statistics that say Chelsea and Arsenal have poor disciplinary records do not paint an accurate picture. Chelsea will be without Didier Drogba, who is suspended following his dismissal against QPR for today’s game with Arsenal. For Chelsea this game comes a month later than they may have liked. The Arsenal side they will face at Stamford Bridge is much improved from the ragged, confidence-shorn outfit that had plunged the Gunners into crisis by mid-September. Beaten by Liverpool, humiliated by Manchester United, and then outmanoeuvred by Blackburn, Arsene Wenger’s team found themselves charting unfamiliar territory in the bottom half of the Premier League. But since that defeat at Ewood Park they have made steady progress towards respectability. Robin van Persie’s goals six in his last four league games - have been no small part of that improvement. However, they are on a poor run away from home and, as restorative as victories against Bolton, Sunderland and Stoke have been, beating Chelsea on their own patch is a completely different prospect. Andre Villas Boas’s side have gone about their business quietly but effectively so far this season. Defeat against QPR was an unexpected setback, but even with nine men they could still have salvaged a point. Chelsea still start as favourites but they will have to curb the indiscipline that saw them pick up two red cards and another seven bookings at Loftus Road. Manchester United travel to Everton, City play Wolves, Norwich face Blackburn, Sunderland take on Villa, Swansea play Bolton, West Brom host Liverpool and Fulham travel to Wigan.
